Arrest of a Core Operative Expands the Inquiry

Muzaffarpur authorities have taken Ejaz Qamar into custody in Patna, bringing the total number of detainees to four. Investigators allege that Qamar facilitated the acquisition of Aadhaar‑related documents and then exploited a Bihar address to manufacture a Bangladeshi passport.

Official comment

City Superintendent of Police Mohibullah Ansari announced the arrest during a Sunday press briefing. Officers are now tracking Qamar’s contacts beyond the state, including potential foreign connections, as his spouse and several relatives live in London.

Raids That Prompted the Detentions

The case originated after Nagar police raided Kanhai Communication in Motijheel, confiscating a laptop and other electronic equipment. The operation led to the apprehension of Sahil Kumar, whose questioning generated additional leads.

  • Shiv Kumar Pandit of Saran district – arrested after being identified by Sahil Kumar.
  • Sujeet – taken into custody on Saturday.
  • Ejaz Qamar – captured in Patna.

All four suspects have been placed in judicial custody, according to Nagar police station SHO JP Singh.

Details of Qamar’s Supposed Involvement

During interrogation, Qamar claimed he worked as a vendor offering Aadhaar‑related services. Police note that he holds an MTech degree and entered the Aadhaar field after leaving a previous job. Investigators suspect he used this position to operate or support the illicit document‑fabrication network.

Qamar hails from Ara and is believed to have coordinated activities from Chandigarh, maintaining links across several Indian states.

Mechanics of the Forgery Scheme

According to investigators, Qamar secured contracts for Aadhaar updates, supplied the necessary hardware, and hired operators to carry out the work, paying them roughly ₹30,000 per month.

Authorities are examining whether this setup was employed to manipulate identity records, facilitating the creation of forged passports and other documents.

Ongoing Investigation

Police are contacting law‑enforcement agencies in other states to locate additional participants and map the full extent of the alleged network. The probe remains active, with a focus on exposing every link that enabled the illegal issuance of identity papers.
